Dumpling Daughter

A decent spot for a quick Chinese food fix. Came here for lunch and got the Taiwanese pork belly bun, dan dan mein, and the beef noodle soup. Compared to other lunch spots in the area, this place wasn’t too crowded, and I liked that everything came out within 10 minutes. While the pork bun was great, both the dan dan mein and the beef noodle soup were over-seasoned. All the flavors that I expected were there, but it was difficult to enjoy the noodles on their own without a drink. They did have free water which was nice, but for the price, the overall quality of the food was slightly disappointing.

Got the eggplant, Brussel sprouts, tofu, and vegan noodles. The eggplant is great and one of my favorites in Boston for sure. I always ask for extra spicy and usually mix with the tofu rice, which I also enjoy a lot. Brussel were good but a bit charred but could be just a one time thing. The vegsn noodles I got ended up having work... So not sure if it's an ubereats issue, but there was specifically an item to not have pork on the order. All said, the eggplant and sides are great here.

I was craving buns and dumplings, these did not hit the spot. Beef and onion buns had dry chopped blade meat and onions, tasted cheap, dough was perfectly steamed and soft. The dumplings were your typical local “pot stickers” from a chain restaurant. I had high hopes, unfortunately I am quite disappointed.
